ABSTRACT

Highly stable suspension-type pesticide formulations (Flowable) prepared by dispersing fine particles of a hydrophobic solid agrochemical in an aqueous medium, wherein the dispersion is achieved with a surfactant and a water-immisible solvent in which said agrochemical is highly soluble. Even agrochemicals having a melting point lower than 100°C can be formulated into said stable flowables.

Description

130~5~3 NOVEL SUSPENSION-TYPE PESTICIDE FORMULATION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of Invention The present invention relates to novel suspension-type pesticite formulations. More particularly, it relates to stable suspension-type pesticide formulations prepared by dispersing fine particles of a hydrophobic solid chemical for agricultural use in water or in an aqueous medium with using a water-immisible solvent in which said chemical is soluble at a high rate (hereinsfter sometimes referred to as water-immisible solvent) ant with a surfactant.
Prior Arts In preparing suspension-type pesticide formulstions by prior arts, it has been usual that hytrophobic solid agrochemicals are milled into fine particles by a try- or wet-grinder and then tispersed in water or in an aqueous solvent in the presence of a qurfactant together with thickning agents (JPN Patent Publication No. 46-20519 and JPN Unexamined Patent Application No. 49-133531).
These prior arts are very useful in the long-term tispersion of a solit sgrochemical which has a relatively high melting point (higher than lO~C) and is very slightly soluble in water (below 50ppm at 20 C) but not convenient for that which has a elting point lower than lOO C (hereinafter sometimes referred to as agroc~emical of lower melting point).
It is believed that crystal growth or aggregation is caused by continual reciprocal collision of the fine particles due to the Van ter Waal's forces. If the fine particles are once aggregated, they are sedimented like clay, then the dispersion of the .... . .. .

` ~L;~ 3 aggregates becomes very hard.
On the other hand, it has been believed that it is helpless to use a solvent as stabilizer in which said agrochemical is highly soluble in preparing suspension-type pesticide formulations, because using such a solvent accelerates crystal growth of said agrochemical. Therefore, as shown in the present invention, it is quite incredible and unexpectable that using a solvent in which said agrochemical is soluble can prevent said agrochemical from aggregation or crystal growth. In any prior arts, no one has succeedet in dispersing the agrochemical of a lower melting point stably over a long period of time.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention provites stable suspension-type pesticide formulations preparet by dispersing fine particles of a hydrophobic solit agrochemical in an aqueous medium, wherein the tispersion is achieved with a surfactant ant a water-immisible solvent in which sait agrochemical is highly soluble. The present invention can be appliet to any solit agrochemicals which are very slightly soluble in water (hereinafter referret to as very slightly soluble agrochemical) ant can also be appliet even to solit agrochemicals of lower melting points.
DESCRIPTION OF TNE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Problem to be Resolved In the prior arts, when an agrochemical having a lower melting point is disperset, the aggregation, coagulation, fusion, or crystal growth is observed during the storage for long period and accompanied by precipitation of the solid. The resulting precipitates not only get spray-nozzles clogged but al~o get the agrochemical spread unevenly to the plants. The uneven spreat of ,, .,-".,.,, . ~ .

-~3~ 3 the agrochemical causes chemical injury or decrease in the efficacy.
The present inventors have studied and completed the formulstions which have no such defects as mentioned above and can be used as easily as other emulsifiable concentrates or oil solutions can. The present invention can be applied to all the very slightly soluble agrochemicsls and csn also be spplied to solid agrochemicsls hsving melting points higher thsn lOO'C
~hereinsfter referred to as sgrochemicsl of high melting point).
Mesns to Resolve the Problem The stsble squeous suspension-type pesticide formulstions of the present invention msy be prepsred either by sdding ssid wster-immisible solvent to a suspension of the milled hydrophobic solid agrochemicsl dispersed in wster or an squeous medium together with 8 surfactsnt to give hydrophilicity to the sgrochemicsl or by milling the sgrochemicsl into hydrophilic fine psrticles ~fter the addition of said wster-immisible solvent. The method can be exemplified by thst said hydrophobic solit sgrochemic~l is dispersed in water contsining 8 surfsctsnt, millet into fine psrticles by a homogenizer or wet-grinter, snd then 8 water-immisible solvent is sddet thereto. It hss been observet that the hytrophilic fine psrticles in thus prepared concentrstes consist of a solid phsse, liquid phsse, snd sn intermediste phsse thereof.
These phsses sre convertible by the temperature: the crystal growth is preventet by the convertibility.
In the present invention, hydrophobic solid agrochemicsls mean those which are very slightly soluble (lower than 5X
solubility at 20 to 25-C) or practicslly insoluble in water, which may have lower melting point or higher melting point (30-C to ~3C~S~;3 250C). Typical agrochemicals are exemplified below together with their melting points and solubilities (at 20 to 25C in wster):
the herbicides such as 2-methylthio-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-S-triazine (mp 84-85C, 185ppm), 2-chloro-2,6-tiethyl-N-(methoxy-methyl)acetanilide (mp 40-41C, 240ppm), 1-( a . a -dimethylbenzyl)-3-methylphenylurea (mp 73C. 277ppm), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-l-methylurea (mp 90-94C, 75ppm), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-l,l-dimethylurea (mp 158-159C, 18ppm), 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (mp 145-l46oc~ 42ppm), 3,5-diiodo-4-octanoyloxybenzonitrile (mp 59-60-C, insoluble), a . a . a -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-para-toluidine (mp 45-48-C, insoluble), N-butyl-N-ethyl-a I a . a -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-para-toluidine (mp 45-48-C, insoluble), N-butyl-N-ethyl- a, a . a -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-pars-toluidine (mp 64-65-C, insoluble), and 3-(5-t-butyl-3-isoxazolyl)-l,l-dimethylurea (mp 106-115-C, 300ppm); fungicides such as diisopropyl-1,3-tithiolan-2-ylidene malonate (mp 50-54-5 C.
48ppm), and tetr~chloroisophthalonitrile (mp 25o-25l-c~ 0.6ppm);
and insecticides such as dimethylethylsulfinyl isopropylthio-phosphate (mp 36-C, insoluble), m-tolyl-N-methylcarbamate (mp 74-75-C, 0.26%), 3-diethoxyphoqphorylthiomethyl-6-chlorobenzoxazolone (mp 48 C, lOppm), and methyl isothiocyanate (mp 35-36-C, 0.76%).
In milling hydrophobic solid agrochemicals into fine particles, a mixer or homogenizer, and if necessary, colloid mill, attrition mill, sand grinder, or the like may be employed. The average size of the hydrophilic fine particles may be smaller than about 20~ m, more preferably smaller than about 5~ m, and most preferably smaller than about 1~ m.
The water-immisible solvents in which the hydrophobic agrochemical is highly soluble include hy *ocarbons such a~

... . . . .

13~ 3 cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and the like;
halogenated hydrocsrbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, and the like; C~-CI2 alkyl alcohols such as n-hexyl alcohol, n-octyl alcohol, n-tecyl alcohol, and the like; ethers such as propyl ether, n-butyl ether, methyl phenyl ether, ethyl phenyl ether and the like; ketones such as acetophenone, cyclophenone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, and the like; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, snd the like; fatty acids such as oleic acid and the like; and aromatic hydrocarbons having a nitrogen atom such as nitrobenzene, aniline, and the like: from the listed solvents, one in which the agrochemical employed is highly soluble may be chosen.
The relative amount of a water-immisible solvent to that of hydrophobic solit agrochemical may not be limitted because it varies with the combination, especially with the solubility of the agrochemical in the solvent. Among others-, it should be noted that the solvent must be used in a smaller amount thPn necessary amount to tissolve the agrochemical completely. Further, the amount of the solvent to be used varies with kints of surfactants or other adtitiveQ or t_e amount of them. Generally speaking, the solvents may be employed at a rate of 20 to 200~, more preferably of 30 to 120~ by weight, to the hydrophobic solid agrochemicals uset.
Aggregation or crystal growth is often observed if the solvent is used in a smaller amount than the foregoing lowest limitation, and on the other hand, if it is used in 8 larger amount than the highest limitation, fusion is accelerated ant, consequently, phase separation is sometimes observet in the concentrates.
The water-immisible solvents may be adtet before or after the _5_ ~3~

milling of the hydrophobic solid agrochemicals. Optimum prescription may be designed according to the kinds of the agrochemicals and other additives or the concentrations thereof and to the requested qualities of the formulations.
Surfactants used in this invention may be anionic, cstionic, nonionic, or amphoteric one. Practically, surfactants used as agricultural auxiliaries may be used for this purpose. For exsmple, snionic surfactsnts include fstty acid sslts or esters such as alkylnaphthalenesulfonste, dotecylbenzenesulfonste, dislkylsulfosuccinste, magnesium stearate, snt the like, polyoxy-ethylene phenylphenolphosphate, polyoxyethylene phenylphenol-sulfste, polyoxyethylene phenylphenolsulfonste, nsphtslenesulfo-nste formsldehyte condensste, ligninsulfonste, polyoxyslkylene block polymer sulfste, snt the like Nonionic surfactants inclute polyoxyslkylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylenesorbitsn~lkylste, sorbitanslkylste, polyoxyethylenestyrenatet phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene fatty acit ether, polyoxyethylene fstty scid ester, polyoxyslkylene block polymer, and the like.
Surfsctsnts msy be usually employed st a r~te of 0.1 to 20 %
by weight to the final formulstion, more preferably at 0.5 to 10 %, most preferably at 1 to 5 %.
If desired, polymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl slcohol, polyacrylic scid or the sslt thereof, slginic acid salt, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gum arsbic, xanthan gm, gelatin, and the like; and inorganic materials such ss white carbon, talc, bentonite, clay, snd the like may be employed ss thickning agents to prevent said particles from sggregation or precipitation. Further, known depressers of freezing point or suspensibility-potencisting agents including diols such ss ... . .

J~3C~5~3 ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or the like; triols such ~s glycerol or the like; inorganic salts such as sulfate, carbonate, phosphate, or the like; urea; and polyacrylic acid oligomer may be employed in this invention.
In order to increase st~bility of agrochemicals, if desired, the formulation may be ~djusted to a preferable pH value with inorgsnic or organic acids or bases. For example, sodium hydroxide, potassium, sodium phosphate, mono-, di-, or tri-ethanolsmine, and hydrochloric acid may be prefer~bly employed.
The present invention not only has teveloped a method for stabilization of the suspension-type pesticide formulations, but also made it possible to formulate the practically water-insoluble sgrochemicals having melting points lower than 100-C, which have been hard to be formulated into suspension with water or with an aqueous solvent.
The present invention has realized the increase of efficacy and decrease of chemical injury in field use. Additionally, it provides other various advsntages in practical aspects: for ex~mple, (1) low costs in preparing formulation because water can be uset in pl~ce of both inorganic carriers and organic solvents which must be used as extending agents in preparing wett~ble powters or emulsifiable concentrates, (2) safe operability in spraying the chemicals, and (3) prevention of environment pollution.
The present invention is explained by the following examples and experiments in more detail, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
